Looks like you got one of the top of the line computers. I have a desktop with an i5 processor. Upgraded from a quad core earlier this year and, and wow, what a difference in speed. My startup time went from 2-3 minutes to unde 1 minute. I'm loving it. I have it plugged into m tv and it is used almost exclusively for entertainment now that I have an iPad for I telnet and what- not. Grats on the upgrade, I think you will like it.

cool . i wanted the 17.3 screen but they didnt have it and told me it will take 10 days to get .

this 1 has a finger print reader to lock the screen .

should of gone for the g-screen dual screen laptop. dual 17" screens its the bollox.

Are you sure that hp laptop only comes with 2ghz cpu ? seems a bit weak for a top end model.

Just wondering what you paid for that. The best laptop for your money is either an ASUS G series laptop or one of the new MSI laptops. I would suggest the ASUS G though. Its an I7, 8 gigs ddr3 ram, Nvidia GTX560, and full HD screen. Basically a desktop replacement and you can get them for about 1200. Check em out on Newegg.

didnt pay anything for it . i spilt a drink on my old laptop and this 1 is a replacement .

What ever that replaced sounds like you got a smoking deal!!

If you want your computer to be as fast as the future replace your hard drives in for ssd. Windows will boot to desktop in seconds.

But goodfuckingdeal!

i dont use laptop harddrives ive use plug in 1 .

and then get that windows 7 and all that bloat ware from hp off the system , and install linux........then you're all set....

I'm using s dv7 17" right now and I love it. Got it for $499 refurbished from Amazon with a 3 years drop and spills warranty for $129. So far so good, no problems and it gets extensive use every day, like 8-10 hours a day. The fingerprint reader is really cool, it has a beautiful screen for watching Netflix, Blu Ray isn't as bright as I would prefer, but I don't have many BR discs anyway. Speakers suck, as usual on a laptop, but I took care of that with one of those external speakers that attach to the top of the screen for $25. All in all a great choice for the money, congrats!
